again, game five. but he's just incredible. i did have all my pitches working early. i was trying the battle, which is not the thing to do against this line-up. i was able to get out of some jams with some cutters and also some curve balls and such. and, you know, it just felt great out there. >> what can you say about pablo? >> he's going to look back on this night for the rest of his life. it was just -- the one, the one early, was huge. hitting that opposite field homer was just incredible. i mean, you know, we were even surprised and we've seen it all with pablo. >> this is also the first time since 1983 that a former cy young award winner relieved another cy young award winner in a game. he has a .84 e.r.a. in 10 2/3

and the giants are kind of a national league small ballish. >> as for boonler's prediction -- >> detroit likes this bay area. they're 1-0 so far here. seven games, the giants. if it goes seven, the jients have a game here. >> on the home of the jients, i'm wauren scott. >> there could be a lot of torture from here to then. let's bring in another sports casting legend. >> not even. the guy who is a sports casting lenld, that's you, rog, don't try to put that on me. hey, we've got a lot to talk about coming up in sports. game one supposed to be a pitching dool. it's the home run folks will remember about this one. find out how some panda power got the jients off in the right foot in their quest to bring a title back to the bay.
